Making Life Work
for Working Families
Stronger together.
We’re teachers, paraprofessionals, part-time faculty and workers. We’re moms, dads, parents and friends. We are the members of SEIU Local 500.
And when we work together, nothing can stop us.

Improving working conditions. Improving lives.
SEIU Local 500 members work at colleges, universities, public schools, and nonprofits across Maryland and Washington, D.C. We’re 20,000 strong and growing.
We’re on the ground organizing new work sites, helping employees to come together and bargain collectively with their employer. If history has shown us anything, it’s that the pay, benefits, and working conditions of employees only get better when they can come together in union and advocate for themselves with one united voice.
When members need us, we’re there too. We help solve disputes and negotiate with employers when our members call on us.
